The vineyards are mainly concentrated on Chassagne-Montrachet and Pommard terroirs, but also on the soils of Santeany, Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Beaune. The father-and-son team of Fernand and Laurent focuses tirelessly on maintaining quality with their practices: low yields, minimal use of fertilizer and strict hygiene. All of their wines are vinified and matured in a modern winery but Laurent pays special attention to keep with traditional Burgundy practices: barrel fermentation for the whites, minimal stirring of the lees, and ageing the wines in French oak barrels from a variety of forests and coopers. The vineyards are worked “agrobiologie” with care taken to see that soils are cultivated without the use of chemical weed-killers. The family is also a member of the research group DEPHY-EcoPhyto since 2012, which aims to decrease the amount of pesticides used and to better agricultural techniques for an environmentally sound ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-24T16:58:58-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-21T07:04:37-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Fernand \u0026 Laurent Pillot","Region_Burgundy","RK1907","Source_Bestofwines0723","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":82000,"price_min":82000,"price_max":82000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43045551800458,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Fernand \u0026 Laurent Pillot | Les Grandes Ruchottes","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":82000,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_6434404c-a1b5-420a-b4b4-cb0508018f00.png?v=1689937563"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_6434404c-a1b5-420a-b4b4-cb0508018f00.png?v=1689937563","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Fernand \u0026 Laurent Pillot | Les Grandes Ruchottes at CaskCartel.com","id":24825203032202,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.317,"height":423,"width":134,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_6434404c-a1b5-420a-b4b4-cb0508018f00.png?v=1689937563"},"aspect_ratio":0.317,"height":423,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_6434404c-a1b5-420a-b4b4-cb0508018f00.png?v=1689937563","width":134}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Fernand \u0026amp; Laurent Pillot | Les Grandes Ruchottes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes is also very promising, mingling aromas of pear and citrus zest with notions of almond paste, freshly baked bread, crushed mint and wet stones.
